"Mutton kebabs! Delicious lamb kebabs!"
"A top-quality weapon for only fifty taels. Yes, you heard it right. A weapon made of top-quality iron ore for only fifty taels. Don't miss it if you pass by!"
"Come and have a look. The Iron Fist Sect, a major sect in the Southern Region, was destroyed, and its martial arts were scattered all over the world. I accidentally obtained a unique martial art from the sect, the Golden Thread Iron Arm Fist. Because my mother is seriously ill, I have to reluctantly give it up. This unique martial art only costs one hundred taels of silver!"
…
The prosperous streets are bustling with people.
Some gangsters carry knives on their backs, some vendors push carts, and some set up stalls on the street.
What a lively scene.
This is Fancheng, the richest city among the thirteen border cities.
Fancheng is a city without any ruling gangs or people.
Because this place is directly under the jurisdiction of Shahai Sect.
Fancheng has a large iron ore vein, and the Shahai Sect will not allow any gangs or even those underworld people who can rule Fancheng to rule here.
In order to mine the mineral veins, they would send a peak eighth-grade warrior to guard here every year.
Therefore, the ruler here is Shahai Zong.
In addition to the Shahai Sect, there are three other powerful forces in Fancheng.
These three forces include the Chu family, which started out by dividing gold and searching for veins.
Many blacksmiths joined together to form the Forging Alliance, a loose group of forces.
And the Kurumu Society founded by the wandering wanderer Ku Laojiang.
All three forces have eighth-rank warriors in charge.
Among them, the Chu family is the most powerful.
According to legend, the Chu family has a secret technique that can separate gold and find veins, and can find mineral veins buried under the earth.
Thanks to this secret technique, the Chu family has countless treasures at home and is extremely wealthy.
It would be fine if it were just money.
The Chu family is quite good at giving birth. They actually gave birth to a beautiful fairy girl, who was noticed by Ding Xin, a contemporary disciple of the Shahai Sect, also known as the Border Town Wanderer, and was taken as his confidante.
Ding Xin, the wanderer from Border Town, is the son of Ding Sheng, the leader of Sand Sea Sect.
Moreover, Ding Xin has amazing talent. He has already broken through to the eighth level at a young age, and his "Neither Flower Nor Mist Palm" is extremely powerful.
He ranks 27th on the Mobei Heroes List compiled by Mobei Tianji Pavilion.
With such a person as their ally, one can imagine how powerful the Chu family will be in Fancheng.
And the Chu family is worthy of the word "ability to give birth".
Among the younger generation, in addition to Chu Xinyu, who is regarded as Ding Xin's confidante, the other two disciples, Chu Xiaoyu and Chu Xiaoyun, also have extraordinary talents and have reached the peak of the ninth rank at a young age.
Among them, Chu Xiaoyu was praised by a fortune teller from the Tianji Pavilion who passed by Fancheng that year as "born with intelligence and wisdom."
This sentence describes Chu Xiaoyu's natural intelligence and wisdom.
Chu Xiaoyu was worthy of the title of "intelligent and clever", as he once used a plan to wipe out the twelve bandits who had once been rampant in the border town.
In that battle, twelve out of the twelve bandits died, eleven of them, leaving only Liang Xian, the current chief of Heisha Village.
In this battle, Chu Xiaoyu became famous for his strategy, and a poem written for him by a woman in a brothel in Fancheng became widely circulated.
"In the summer rainy season, a song of the mortal world is a dream, the first encounter with Xiao Yu Luo's plan is complete, four seasons and eleven blood flows." (Note: I don't have much talent for poetry, I hope my friends Chu Xiao Yu don't blame me??, that, other people don't criticize me, I admit that I don't write well.)
This line of poetry tells the story of how Chu Xiaoyu made a plan after listening to a song on a rainy night. It also tells the story of how eleven of the twelve bandits were killed after Chu Xiaoyu's plan was completed.
The Chu family is powerful and Chu Xiaoyu is well-known.
At this time, no one knew that Master Xiao, who had planned to capture the eleven bandits, had a gloomy face.
“After a whole year and so many people, you tell me now that you can’t detect it
Our Chu family has never made mistakes in finding a pulse. If my father says there is one, then there must be one. Keep looking! "
In the busiest brothel in Fancheng, Chu Xiaoyu scolded the people below him with a gloomy face.
"Sir, please don't be angry, don't get angry!"
Next to Chu Xiaoyu, the beautiful woman rubbed his temple and advised him softly.
"I understand, but there is one more thing I need to report to you, young master!"
The man at the bottom had an ordinary face, was dressed in shorts, and looked like an ordinary wandering wanderer.
After being scolded by Chu Xiaoyu, he had no expression on his face, but spoke in a low voice.
"What is it? Tell me!"
Under the gentle massage of the woman next to him, Chu Xiaoyu closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, there was no trace of anger in his eyes, and his face returned to calm, and he spoke calmly.
"Li Shenzhou of Shacheng is dead. The murderer is unknown. There is not a single survivor among the hundreds of people in the Li Mansion."
The people below said.
"Li Shenzhou is dead!"
Chu Xiaoyu pondered for a moment.
"Then Sand City should be in chaos! I have met the leader of the Sand Gang, Wan Liyun, once. He is very scheming and you can tell at a glance that he is a scheming person. He will not let go of this opportunity!"
"Yes, but the chaos ended very quickly. Now there is only one gang left in Sand City. You would never have guessed what that gang is!"
The people below looked up slightly at Chu Xiaoyu and said.
"I can't think of it? Could it be the Donglin Escort Agency?"
Chu Xiaoyu smiled and spoke.
"No, it's the Red Fire Gang. Now it's no longer called the Red Fire Gang, but the Tian Xia Association. The leader is not Huang Song, but a hall master under his former command, named Yan Xiong."
The people below quickly started to explain.
"Yan Xiong!" Chu Xiaoyu narrowed his eyes, "The Red Fire Gang, I really didn't expect it.
I never thought that such an unexpected thing would happen in this small sand city!
But, Tianxiahui! What a big tone! "
Chu Xiaoyu didn't know why, but when he heard the name Tianxiahui, he felt inexplicably disgusted.
He frowned.
Outsiders all know that Chu Xiaoyu is an outstanding resource, but few know that all of this stems from his martial arts, the Seven Secret Strategies.
In those days, he met the fortune teller from Tianji Pavilion, who liked him and taught him the legendary Seven Strategies of Tianji.
Although he only learned one strategy.
But it had a huge impact on him.
Not only did his martial arts skills improve significantly, but his brain also became much smarter.
Now, this Tianxiahui actually makes him feel deeply disgusted. It seems that he will inevitably have intersections with Tianxiahui in the future.
"Find out more about Yan Xiong from the Tianxiahui. Also, since Li Shenzhou is dead, send more people to explore the silver mine. I want to present this vein of minerals at my eldest sister and brother-in-law's wedding in three months to pave the way for the rise of my Chu family."
Although he knew that the first thing he should do now was to destroy this gang that he disliked.
But Chu Xiaoyu still subconsciously felt that the silver mine should be given priority.
If he could present a silver mine to Shahai Sect at the wedding of his eldest sister and Ding Xin, the Chu family's status would be further improved. Shahai Sect might even let the Chu family take charge of the coveted Fancheng.
However, although he was unwilling to take action against the Tianxiahui now, he was also unwilling to just watch it develop.
"Su'e, go inform Elder Zhou Renshou and tell him about the Tianxiahui. By the way, mention that you suspect Li Shenzhou's death may be related to the Tianxiahui."
He instructed the woman next to him.
Although this woman named Su'e is the top prostitute in a brothel, she also has another identity, that is, Chu Xiaoyu's confidante.
The kind that could die for him.
"Well, I know. When Elder Zhou comes to see Ximei tonight, I will ask her to tell him."
Su'e said with a sweet smile.
"Well, be careful. Just say you heard it from a stranger. I'm sure Zhou Renshou, that rough guy, will believe it."
Chu Xiaoyu ordered with a smile.
